The Question OF Pardons.

In commenting upon the fact that over
600 applications for pardons are awaiting
his consideration, Gov. Gordon gives the
people of Georgia some interesting and
suggestive information.
''Of the 800 convicts applying for par
dons," he says, 81 have not a shadow Of
doubt but that more than one in five
ought to be pardOned. To a limited
extent have examined the applications,
and find that large number OF convicts
are serving longer terms than the
statutes now authorize for the Of
lenses of which they were convicted
| am led to believe, also. that innocent
men are confined in the penitentiary.
While | shall pardon no man without be-
ing thoroughly satisfied OF the injustice
of his confinement, l shall not hesitate to
grant pardon in every case where l am
satisfied that iusJlce demands it,"
Gov. Gordon intends, when the General
Assembly meets, to recommend the pass
age of a law creating board of pardons.
Clearly something ought to be done. jus
tice and humanity demand that the 800
applications for pardons now pending
shall be acted upon with as little delay as
possible. The Governor cannot examine
the applications rapidly enough, for the
reason he gives. Although the constitu-
ton OF the State vests tue pardon ing
power in the Governor alone, yet board
of pardous composed OF discreet citizens
may render valuable service by examin-
ing the applications and recommending
what shall be done with them. Certainly
the Importance OF the matter warrants
the extension OF any reasonable and con-
stitutional aid to the Governor.
In the last year or two many attacks
have been made upon the penltentiary
system of Georgia. Some of them have
been based upon false information, and
others have been made merely for politi-
cal capital. The information given by
Gov. Gordon, however, is reliable, and it
requires that the General Assembly shall
act upon 1t as soon as it assemblies for the
summer session. In the meantime, the
State is to be congratulated that it has
Governor who does not fear 10 call at
tentiOn to abuses, whether they be the
result OF unnecessarily harsh penal laws
or of the failure of the courts to- inquire
with sufficient care into the cases of per-
sons charged with crime.

FELLOW-FEELING.
Incident of the Siege of Chattanooga
Musical Duet.

From the Chattanooga Times.
a grizzled veteran, who served faithfully
and credtably in an Indiana regiment, tells
with gusto an incident of the siege of this CITY
by Gen. Braggs forces after the battle OF
Cmcamauga in 1853:
were In camp in Chattanooga | spent IA good
many nights on the outposts, ana never had
30 keen an appreciation of music as on the
beautiful moonlight nights, when scores Of
bands in the rival camps would play for the
half hour preceding taps. On one side was a
canvas city OF $4,000 stalwart men in blue
over on Mission Ridge and little beyond
were as many men In gray. There were prob
ably twenty or thirty excellent bands in each
army. and when they all played national airs
on one side, Confederate airs on the other
the pickets midway between the monster
camps had the benefit Of both concerts.
~ remember one night after most of the
bands had retired from the contest three or
four of the best in each army played for an
hour or more as if in rivalry. In the Union
camp, after the band had rendered Rail
Columbia there would be cheer on cheer
from ten thousand throats. At the same
time the strains Of Bonnie Blue Flag would
'come from the other side, TO be followed by
cheer on cheer from as manv men. A last
the band on the Union side struck up The
Girl I Left Behind Me- and for a minute
Confederate band caught up the same strain
and they played it together TO the end Then
rs If by common impulse. came cheer on cheer
from both camps, and the pickets, throwing
caution TO the winds, stood up and cheered

The Presidents Growing Popularity.

The Presidents Growing Popularity.
The Republican journals are waking
up to the fact that the President is steadi-
ly gaining stronger hold upon the affec-
tiOns of the people. They are forced to
recognize the fact that he is giving the
country an impartial and honest admins
tratlon. This is what the people want,
and it VIII be very difficult, if not inpos-
sible, to convince them that he ought not
to have a second term.
in speaking of the Interstate Commerce
Commissioners the New York Tribune
says that in selecting them the President
bad very difficult task to perform, and
that he performed it ''fairly well" THAT
be performed it so WELL" says the same
journal, lis to be set down to his credit"
1t is seldom that the Tribune has
gOod word for Mr.. Cleveland, aud it is
probable that 1t would never speak in
praise OF him if 1t could Gecently avoid
doing SO. His purpose to do what is
right and for the best interests OF the
whole country is 80 clear that it would
lose influence with its readers il 1t pre-
tended never to see anything in his Off
oiai conduct worthy OF commentator.
The st. Louis Globe-DemOcrat. one Of
the great Republican journals of the
West, in an article on the next Presiden-
tial campaign that-is attracting WIDE at
tention, tells the Republicans not to make
the mistake OF thinking that they will not
have Mr.. Cleveland to beat in 1888. 1t
says that he will be the Democratic can
didate and that the Republicans cannot
beat him with Mr.. Blaine.
This amounts almost TO a confession
that he cannot be beaten. MIR. Blaine's
friends claim that he is particularly
strong IN the West, and he doubtless is,
but strong as he is there, the Journal that
is the best representative OF Western Re-
publicanism admits that he cannot be
elected If he is opposed by Mr.. Cleveland.
The truth is that the Republican lead
ers are beginning to regard their pros
poets for winning the next Presidential
campaign as hopeless. Very few doubt
that Mr.. Cleveland will be renominated,
and the very general impression is that
he will be reelected.
